Meanwhile, Meghan, 43, has been focussing on her career as she recently released her series With Love, Meghan as well as her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, and her jam company As Ever.

And ahead of his new book Bower, who has also written books on , The Beckhams and Mohammed Al-Fayed, claims the couple's relationship has met a crisis point after turning their backs on royal life in favour of a life in California. Meghan and Harry announced their decision to step away from their roles as senior working members of the in 2020 and have since moved to the US for a life away from the Royals – leading to heartbreaking fallouts with and and .

Royal author Tom has told us: "They have a crisis, Meghan wants to be a billionaire celebrity and Harry doesn’t understand that , other than [understanding that] Meghan wants to be famous.

"He’s spent his whole life never having a penny in his pocket. He’s never regularly travelled on the Tube, never had to worry about having a car or a job. So he doesn’t understand where she’s coming from, which is that she worked phenomenally hard, struggled hard, and was constantly humiliated, and wants the security of finance and status.

"She hasn’t got the status she craves, she hasn’t got the pulling power. He’s stuck in California clinging on to his royal status, as is she. Harry’s thinking is of reconciliation. That’s just totally unrealistic. There is zero chance of reconciliation because there is irreconcilable anger on the part of William and Kate."

The author added of his new book: "I’ve got a lot of new material already and I think the whole world wants new insights. It’s an amazing story, it’s an eye wateringly unique story because it’s unprecedented. This is such a famous couple who are fighting [for themselves] all the time. They are relentless and they are restless, and that’s what makes it so interesting."

The couple are constantly surrounded by speculation around their marriage, after tying the knot in May 2018. They share two children together, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. However, the couple gave a rare insight into their marriage recently following the launch of Meghan's new brand, As Ever – which sold out 10 minutes after launching earlier this month.

Prince Harry told People earlier this week: “I am so happy for my wife and fully support absolutely everything she’s done and continues to do. I’m incredibly proud.”

Meanwhile, Harry made a brief appearance in Meghan's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, as he is seen in the final episode where Meghan hosts a brunch to celebrate her new business venture.
